Ronaldo recently released a photo of himself with his son Cristiano Jr., 14, on his Instagram account, marking the `Father's Day, the third Sunday of June.'
According to the British media Daily Mail, the two people in the photo showed off their solid abs and muscular body at the gym with their tops off, leaving a message, "'Like father, like son'.
But there was something else that became a hot topic among fans. Ronaldo's big toenails were painted black.
In fact, this is not the first time to show black claws.
Similar images have been spotted in January and April 2023. At the time, he was recovering in a sauna, or his black claws were revealed in a photo taken with MMA fighter Francis Ngannou.
In response, the German media Bild explained that "This is not just a style, it is for the purpose of protecting the toenails".
An official said, `Many top athletes apply protective or color to their toenails to protect them from fungi and germs," he said.
In long sweaty soccer shoes, toenails are susceptible to infection, and protective nail polish or coating to prepare for this is a widespread management method among athletes.
In fact, Ronaldo is also famous for his strict, regular training, diet, and recovery routine in the soccer world.
His muscular body and performance are still a model for many fans and junior players despite the age of 40.
This black toenail can also be seen as another example of his health care philosophy and thorough preparation.
